| LTA micro zotl preamp kw6, I think that we are getting mixed up with naming. Admittedly, LTA does not make it easy. I assume that you just purchased the new micro ZOTL preamp. I owned the older MZ2 unit, which was an integrated amp but many guys used it as a preamp. ... | |
| LTA micro zotl preamp kw6, How would you compare the sound of the microzotl to the MZ2?I ask because I purchased an MZ2 last year, for my den. And while the unit is very quiet it does not compare, soundwise, to my Radu Tarta/Shiny Eyes 41PL DHT preamp. Admittedly, I'... | |
| Small or large sub for music sleepwalker65 wrote: Subwoofers are a bad solution for inadequate speakers. They are mutually exclusive with high fidelity because they can never perfectly integrate. Some people and rappers don’t care about sound quality. Low-Fi is fine for them... | |
| Speaker driver sizes - pros and cons timlub, with all due respect I do not agree for several reasons:1- Mass is always an issue. Larger motors do help, but the reaction time also increases; larger motor or not.2- Mass vs motor: over-driving the cone is typically only a concern with ... | |
| Speaker driver sizes - pros and cons timlub, you forgot to mention that smaller drivers are usually faster than larger drivers - less mass to push and pull back and forth.Also, I disagree that small speakers can't reproduce a large orchestral experience. You just need more than one;... | |
| Sean Casper 421a or Don Garber 421A amp? A Sean Casper 421A amp just sold on USAA. It seemed to go for a very fair price. I thought about bidding on it myself but got distracted.Are you lucky enough to think you'll find a Don Garber amp for sale these days? Well do you, punk? (sorry, ... | |
| DECWARE.....ZTPRE anyone have any expeiriance with one ? I have heard the new ZTPre "V6" design, paired with decware 6Wpc monoblocks and decware speakers, and I can definitively say that it is not rolled off on the bottom end. It's an excellent and unique dual mono preamp design. If you need a tube pr... | |
| What are best hi efficiency speakers under $1000? I guess a late reply is better than none. | |
| Potential issues using low powered tube amp with electrostatic speakers Hmmm, it might work but I wouldn't bet that you will be happy. The Ethos speakers use a powered sub section and are rated at 92dB. But my guess is that you are not going to get optimal performance from this amp/speaker combination. You haven't ... | |
| Small Bedroom Tube Amp The Peachtree amps, as mentioned by uberwaltz, are a good option but they are not tube amps.There are many good, inexpensive tube amps available that are certainly more than good enough for bedroom use. I would suggest that you take a look at the... | |
| EL34 in triode vs 300B/845 SET Please allow me to provide a slightly different perspective. I am not a big fan of the 300B, or maybe it's that I haven't yet heard a 300B amp that rang my bell. Anyway, was looking for a new SET amp and ran across Radu Tarta's website: https://... | |
| Any experience with Decware speakers? Should work, but I would try it before you buy it. decware offers a wide range of speakers that generally work with most tube amps but remember that they were voiced using decware amps, all of which sound quite different than the TRV-35's 845 tub... | |
| Any experience with Decware speakers? I have heard several of the decware speakers recently, and I used to own an old pair of horns that Steve doesn't make anymore. I'm a big fan of all things decware, although I realize that their house sound may not be everyone's cup of tea.Having ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in audio racks these days? The best audio rack I ever owned was the the long defunct Zoethecus rack. I don't know why someone hasn't pirated the design. It was brilliant, effective and attractive.Those Symposium ISIS racks might work well but to me they look like a shelf ... | |
| 300B SET vs.Triode Strapped KT150's??? You are trying to compare apples and oranges. The KT150 tube, "triode strapped" or not, doesn't sound anything like the 300b. I assume that you are considering a 300b SET and not a 300b amp in PP configuration? There are practical implications b... |
